My partner and I are opening a self-publishing store in Tacoma sometime in late summer called The Nearsighted Narwhal. The purpose of the store is to bring to consumers zines, books, music, and everything else handmade and self-published. We will be offering workshops on self-publishing and art, have regular events take place there like open mic and spoken word, and also have a coffee and itty bitty eatery there as well. We are super excited to get the ball rolling on this!

This is where you come in. We need to build up our inventories before our doors open in just a few months. If you would like to consign any zines, books, comics, music, patches, buttons, art, or anything else handmade to our store, now is the time. We would like to open with a vast array of materials from different people and it would be awesome if you participated! If you have any zines, books, or anything else self-made that you'd like us to carry it'd be a welcome addition to our little store.

Contact us and we can send you an e-mail with the consignment agreement attached for you to fill out and send back with your stuff.

P.S. if you know of anyone that might be interested in helping us out, could you help spread the word? Thanks!

Also, you could give our page a like to keep up on our progress and, eventually, events and inventory we'll be carrying.

Hey there. First time zine writer, and essentially looking for submissions! HELP PLEASE.

Essentially I'm doing a zine about crushes at work after totally falling for this girl at my new job I started a month ago. She's the prettiest girl I've ever seen and so far has shown to be quite witty, but 99% of the time I'm around her I often struggle to put together a coherent sentence that isn't total dogshit. Further down the line I totally expect to make an ass of myself and wind up in embarassing/funny/depressing situations. The first thing she said to me was 'I'd shake your hand if mine weren't covered in toffee', so that's certainly a start

So, with my ongoing saga I've decided to try put a zine together of other peoples experiences with crushes in the workplace, hence asking for submissions! It can be anything; happy, sad, heartbreaking, heartwarming, funny, dumb, whatever. You can even do it as a comic if you'd like. Also if goes without saying that if you want to do it anonymously that's fine.

I decided to make my first zine ever. It's going to be called Badewannenoptik which is German and means bath tub optic or bath tub perspective. I want to fill it with drawings from different people which show their bodies taking a bath from their perspektive.

Why?

When you look down at your body, what you see isn’t always the most flattering view on it. That’s ok! Because I think taking this look at yourself is very sexy! Your body can look very differently from every perspektive. Butyourperspektive onyourbody is the one that really matters. It’s this realistic and maybe also curious exploration of the own body that I find so interesting!

So I'm looking for people who'd like to submit their drawing for Badewannenoptik-Zine. You don’t have to be an artist. You can think of yourself as an terrible drawer. There is no „technical quality“ expected from your drawings because I think these are subjective categories anyway. Not only the different bodies are interesting to me, but also or even more the different views on them. You can censor certain genitals by hiding them in a bubble bath, if you like to.

[The original drawing above is not censored of course and the drawings in the zine also won't be censored but I think you aren't allowed to show nudity in ning-networks so ...]

The drawings are going to be published anonymously in the zine (unless you want it otherwise).
